Bevan French Agrees To Contract Extension At Parramatta

After the heartbreak of Jarryd Hayne's departure and eventual return (but to another club), Parramatta faces can rejoice - their new livewire fullback has been locked up long term.

Bevan French has agreed to extend his stay at the Eels until 2019, and it's been reported by the Daily Telegraph's David Riccio that he will be the first choice for fullback, with new recruit Josh Hoffman to be pushed to the centre/wing.

French managed 19 tries from 13 games in 2016. Check out all 19 tries below.
